This is our go-to hotel when we visit Orange to see our daughter in college! The hotel is centrally located, modern, fabulous rooftop hangout and cocktails and restaurant! Overall, just a wonderfully kept hotel.

Hotel Fera Anaheim, a DoubleTree by Hilton
The lobby was nice, the only issue we had was with the cleanliness of the room. The first room had hair in the bath tub, stuff on the sheets, trash on floor just overall not clean. We went back to the lobby & they changed was rooms which was way better overall.
